I'm reading an article from the New York Times website. Call of Duty Smashes Five-Day Sales Records. Bye Nick Bilton. Published: November 18 2010.http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/18/call-of-duty-smashes-five-day-sales-records/?ref=technology. I have always been interested in video games and i always like to be updated with whats the best game out there and know all about it. This Video currently hit the top 5 day sales in entertainment earning 650million dollars in the first 5 days. This is an incredible amount of money and has surpassed many movies and all other games.

I'm reading an article from the New York Times website. Bubbles of energy found in Galaxy. By Dennis Overbye, Published: November 9, 2010.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/science/space/10galaxy.html?_r=1&ref=science. I like science and like to be updated about the new things that are found in the strange world and galaxy we live in. Slowly scientist learn more and more about what happens out in the galaxy, how the world started, and things like being able to see closer to the center of the university. They slowly gain more information as technology gets better and better. In this article they rescently found 2 bubbles of huge amounts of energy that cover a distance of 50 thousand light-years. That is half as wide as our entire universe's diameter, thats amazing really until now we barely found great amount of energy that originates from the center of the universe. It only makes me wonder more what happened there in the center of the universe, how were we created? Or maybe why were we created? It's all crazy stuff that just makes our planet seem like nothing so small that it doesn't really matter. Imagine how small when you are thinking in that great perspective, it's kind of scary. As for me, it motivates me to find out more.

I'm reading an article from the New York Times website. Neighborhood Mischief Caught on Tape. By Kate Murphy. Published: November 3, 2010.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/04/garden/04surveillance.html?pagewanted=1&ref=technology.The reason I picked this article was because I found the title funny. This is article was quite interesting. Steve Miller, a regular person living in Houston, was having trouble with his neighbor's habit of dumping bags of dog pooh on the front of his yard. He wanted to catch him redhanded so went out and bought a "do it yourself surveillance kit". These days the prices on those things are affordable and are affordable by regular income people. So he installed cameras and hid them in his bushes and stuff. He finally caught the man dumping the pooh and he never bothered him again. Steve Miller later posted the video on youtube to make him feel bad because the man didn't apologize. The article is very funny overall, showing a bunch of people following his footsteps. It's really amazing what technology can do these days.

I'm reading an article from the New York Times website again. For Myspace, a Redesign to Entice Generation Y. By Miguel Helft.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/27/technology/27myspace.html?src=me&ref=technology . The reason I picked this article was because i was interested in learning about the website, Myspace. I'm not really a social online freak like some people i know, but I've heard interesting stuff about how Myspace was crashing down and Facebook was amazing. So the article was entertaining overall. I have learned that they are transforming the website and are not competing with Facebook any longer. The article was fun and all but I didn't quite get motivated to read more about it. I guess there can be lame articles too.

It's now the second quarter and I decided to read 10 articles this time around. I just read an article in New York Times. Just Sit Back and Immerse Yourself, by Joe Sharkey.http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/26/business/26road.html?ref=technology . Well this was my first article and i think it was very interesting to read. Who doesn't want time to fly when you travel long distances? Shariar S. Afshar has invented this new KOR-fx total immersion audio-stimulation system. Mr. Afshar describes how this new technology will blow your mind away. This thing apparently makes time fly with incredible sound technology. I find this quite interesting and can't wait to try it myself. I think reading articles about things i actually enjoy will actually motivate me to keep reading. I definitely like reading articles rather than a book.
